Why do some cells in the table say not stated?

Because the retailer page did not give that figure. It does not mean the feature is missing, so ask the seller for it in writing.

Is the order of the table a ranking?

No. Nothing was tested, and the rows are simply different formats from different sellers, from tubs to a standalone chiller.

Do these prices include delivery to the Republic?

Not always. Some pages state free delivery or kerbside delivery, others add it at checkout, and one lists installation separately.

How cold should the tub I buy go?

Look for a stated range and a power figure rather than the lowest number. The Royal Life Saving Society Australia advises keeping cold plunge water generally between 10°C and 15°C.

Cold Plunge Tubs Available in Ireland: Specs and Prices Compared

Irish retailers currently list cold plunge tubs from about €550 for a one-to-two-person bath that needs a separate chiller, up to €9,250 for a stainless steel unit with its own chiller and filtration. One retailer's listing page runs to more than €12,000. The pages differ a lot in how much they tell you, so the table below records only what each page stated and says "not stated" everywhere else.

Prices change, as of 18 October 2026

Every figure below was read from the retailer pages named on 18 October 2026. Prices, stock, delivery terms and warranties change without notice, so confirm each one on the live page before you pay. This is a record of listings, not a test, and the order of the table implies no ranking.

Seven listings read on 18 October 2026

The selection covers different formats on purpose: a fully built tub with chiller, a chiller sold as a separate unit, a bath that accepts an add-on chiller, a fibreglass tub and a timber tub. Not every row is a complete cold plunge system, and the notes after the table say which is which.

Three points on reading it. The Vortex is a chiller, not a tub, so its price is not comparable with the tub rows. The Ultra and Pro Plus are baths that need a chiller bought separately for cold water below what ice alone gives. And the Aquiro was marked out of stock on the day, so its price is a listing, not an offer you could accept.

How to read the specs fairly

Minimum temperature depends on conditions. The Vortex page ties its 2.75 kW figure to 340 litres of test water starting at 25°C with 25°C air. A tub in a cold Irish garden in January is a different test.
Capacity can mean people or litres. "Seats 1 person" says nothing about volume, which drives both cooling time and running cost.
Power is not running cost. A maximum draw in kilowatts and a per-day figure such as 2 to 5 kWh need converting using your own unit rate. See cold plunge running costs in Ireland.
Colder is not a feature to chase. The Royal Life Saving Society Australia position statement keeps cold plunge water generally between 10°C and 15°C and says colder water needs strong risk-reduction measures. A tub that reaches 2°C does not need to be run there. See the temperature and duration guide.

"Not stated" does not mean the product lacks the feature. It means the page did not say, and a short email to the seller will usually settle it. Ask for the figure in writing before you pay.

Ice tub or chiller: a decision framework

The choice is mostly about how often you plunge, how much space and power you have, and how much you want to manage. These are general considerations, not a verdict on any product.

Situation	Points towards	Why
Occasional use, a few times a month, no spare outdoor power	Tub plus ice or cold tap water	No chiller to buy or plug in. Cost shifts to ice and the effort of filling, emptying and cleaning each time.
Regular use, several sessions a week	Tub with chiller, or a tub that accepts one	Holding water cold between sessions avoids repeated ice purchases, but it adds a continuous power draw and filter upkeep.
Limited garden or indoor space	Compact one-person tub	Check internal depth against your height. Footprints quoted on pages are often external.
Shared use by a household or small group	Larger volume, filtration, cover	Water hygiene matters more with more bathers. See ice bath water hygiene.
Renting or no fixed outdoor spot	Portable or inflatable option, or a chiller added to an existing bath	Easier to move. Durability and insulation vary, so check returns terms.

Delivery, installation and warranty questions

Several pages spell out Irish delivery in detail and some do not mention it. Before ordering, check these:

Is delivery to your county included, and does it stop at the kerb? Polaris Sauna states kerbside delivery and excludes islands; C11 says delivery is added at checkout or in a quote.
Is assembly or installation extra? Tribe lists assembly in the Republic at €300; C11 prices installation separately.
What electrical supply does the chiller need, and who connects it? Pages quote 220 to 240 V, but wiring a permanent outdoor supply is a job for a registered electrician, so ask the seller what they require.
What does the warranty cover and for how long? C11 and Polaris state terms; the other pages read did not.
What is the returns policy for a large, filled-with-water product? Ask before purchase, not after.

For a wider look at what drives price, see the Irish cold plunge cost breakdown and the tub buyer's guide.

At the budget end

A short note on the cheapest products. Checkout.ie reported that Aldi Ireland sold a limited-edition inflatable ice bath at €29.99, about 232 litres and 86 x 86 x 78 cm, from Thursday 12 March 2026 while stocks lasted, with no warranty mentioned. That was a one-off promotion, so do not assume it is on sale now. Inflatables may suit a trial of the habit, but keeping water cold still needs ice or a chiller, so count that cost into any plan.
